Smart Biomaterials and Dressings for the Treatment of Chronic Inflammatory Skin Diseases
Rare Metals, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Chronic inflammatory skin diseases, encompassing immune‐inflammatory conditions and infection‐associated dermatoses, pose significant clinical challenges due to high prevalence, recurrence, and therapeutic resistance, affect over 30% of the global population.

The Journal of Dermatology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Atopic dermatitis (AD) involves chronic eczema resulting from barrier dysfunction. Fine bubble (FB) technology generates microbubbles (< 100 μm) and ultrafine bubbles (< 1 μm) for surfactant‐sparing cleansing. We assessed the short‐term safety of an FB shower in AD.

Dietary resilience of coral reef fishes to habitat degradation
Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.Metabarcoding of gut contents shows that two common benthic‐feeding reef fishes with different feeding stratgies—a butterflyfish (Chaetodon capistratus) and a hamlet (Hypoplectrus puella)—shift diets on degraded reefs. These shifts mirror contrasting patterns in body condition: butterflyfish showed strong individual variation, whereas condition was ...

Restructuring of the sponge microbiome favors tolerance to ocean acidification
Environmental Microbiology Reports, 2016 Summary Ocean acidification is increasing and affects many marine organisms. However, certain sponge species can withstand low‐pH conditions. This may be related to their complex association with microbes. We hypothesized that species with greater microbial diversity may develop functional redundancy that could ...

Our Impressive Immune System: More Than a Defense [PDF]
, 2014 Most likely the immune system was put into place in the original human body design. We know from Exodus 20:11 and other verses that God completed His work of creation in six days.

Iflaviruses in arthropods: when small is mighty
Insect Science, EarlyView.Many arthropod species harbor iflaviruses, which often cause covert (asymptomatic) infections, but may still affect host fitness. We review the impact of iflaviruses on arthropod fitness, immunity, behaviour as well as the iflavirus’ host range, transmission, tissue tropism and the interactions with other microorganisms within arthropods.

A Symbiotic View Of Life: We Have Never Been Individuals [PDF]
, 2012 The notion of the biological individual is crucial to studies of genetics, immunology, evolution, development, anatomy, and physiology. Each of these biological subdisciplines has a specific conception of individuality, which has historically provided ...

Allergy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In the last decades, critical advancements in research technology and knowledge on disease mechanisms steered therapeutic approaches for chronic inflammatory diseases towards unprecedented target specificity. For allergic and chronic lung diseases, biologic drugs pioneered this goal, acquiring on the way—through the clinical use of monoclonal ...
